SINTEF Ocean projects

SINTEF has been heavily involved in both the pre-design and design phases of the Dudgeon wind farm in waters to the east of the UK.

NanoWASTE is a research project funded by the Norwegian Research Council that studies the fate, removal, release and subsequent impacts of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

In its quest to meet the growing demand for energy, the offshore industry is moving into ever deeper waters, and resources are being exploited in more and more demanding ocean environments. FPSOs, or Floating Production, Storage and Offloading...

In collaboration with Statoil and TNO - Netherlands, SINTEF has developed and validated a novel methodology for determining the operational limits of free-fall lifeboats.

Much of Norway's production of crude oil is transported by ship. Particularly during loading, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are released from the ship's cargo tanks to the atmosphere.

The overall objective of the project is to study and recommend different sustainable technologies for large scale macroalgae and marine aquaculture that can be applied to the Brazilian coast

Access to omega 3 sources in fish feed is a limiting factor for growth in aquaculture. Researchers from SINTEF and NTNU will explore the potential of using bacteria as a "production machine" for the beneficial fatty acids.

As an R&D partner in NOWITECH (Norwegian Research Centre for Offshore Wind Technology), SINTEF Ocean have been actively involved in developing robust numerical tools for the design and modelling of bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines.

The aquaculture company SalMar, based on the island of Frøya, has through its development company Ocean Farming, proposed a new design for an ocean salmon fish farm on exposed sites.
